The same way Atlanta is doing! That should worry the Pistons.


Actually you are quite wrong many sources have the Magic beating the Pistons. And I am not talking about this forum.

Overall though, the Magic are not expected to beat the Pistons.

Pistons have the better record, much more experience, the higher seed, and thus, homecourt advantage.

Based on reactions from our fans after the first round series win, it seems that so many of them were focused more on the fact that the Magic advanced for the first time in over a decade, and less on what would happen in the second round.

However, this is not the #8 seed Magic up against the big bad Pistons. Anything less than a 6 game series I would personally consider a disappointment and borderline disgrace. Losing the series 4-2 should be the minimum "best" the Magic can muster, in my mind.

Still, f that, win this series!
